A tiny garden enjoyed by all

 On the corner of Walker St. and Old US 70. I've posted some shots of this lovely little garden and the hand painted fence before. 

The iris leaves are stretching towards the sunlight. Then in the photo below, the shade from a tree branch seems part of the scene on the fence, almost.

I liked seeing the little narcissus, which I used to force in a dish of pebbles and water indoors. They were very fragrant. Their daffodils have lost their blooms here. 

A flat of pansies, which was brought inside when we had a few cold nights. It's due to be planted near the back entrance to the Black Mountain Art Center.

And I must share a lovely pitcher full of tiny lilies of the valley.

Today's quote:

The basis of all animal rights should be the Golden Rule -- we should treat them as we would wish them to treat us were any other species in our dominant position.

 -Christine Stevens, activist and conservationist (1918-2002)

Two down, two to go

 

The cleared lots on Walker St. have just sat empty for the last couple of months. However 2 new homes with grey siding and white trim were finished on the other side of the ranch home that shows through the trees. (Or is it bamboo?) Tee hee, they'll find out if it is.

But suddenly the piles of concrete blocks and lumber were transformed into this new home.

There are 2 permits given to the Tanner company.

But nothing is happening for the 4th house yet.

Today's quote:

I look at the world and I notice it's turning / While my guitar gently weeps / With every mistake we must surely be learning / Still my guitar gently weeps.
